If you got lead pipes, start shopping for a funeral. You'll need it
soon. First, your brain will stop functioning, then your nervous
system will fail and you will develop any number of nervous system
disorders. Then your liver will fail and possible kidney damage.
Then your heart will be affected and result in a very painful death.
If you live any number or years at all, you will develop alzheimers
disease at a very early age, prior to your early death. If your
brains are not yet fried, save your dollars and have the pipes
replaced ASAP, or do not use the water for drinking or cooking at all.

Agreed.

Lead pipes have been used in municipal water systems for a _long_ time.
If all this was true, the death rates would show it.
